PRF-Assisted Crestal Sinus Floor Elevation With Bone Tap Drills in the Implant Surgical Kit (A Simplified Minimally Invasive Technique): A Case Series.
Article in Clinical case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Here, we present two Persian 58- and 39-year-old females with an edentulous posterior maxilla in the first molar region and a minimum residual bone height (RBH) of 4 mm. Sinus floor elevation with crestal approach was considered. Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) was utilized as a crucial safeguard during sinus floor elevation with the assistance of bone tap drills featuring round ends. The placement of cylindrical implants was carried out simultaneously. Before applying this technique "in vivo" on human subjects, the "ex vivo" efficacy of PRF-assisted crestal sinus floor elevation with bone tap drills was evaluated. It seems that PRF-assisted crestal sinus floor elevation with bone tap drills can be used as a simplified minimally invasive technique.
